Sakura Sushi Bar Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (472) • $$

"Sakura Sushi Bar Japanese Restaurant has remained my top choice for all you can eat sushi over the past few years. This establishment never disappoints. I highly recommend trying their Specialty rolls, such as their Mango Hawaii Roll.I suggest visiting for Lunch rather than Dinner, as the price difference is substansial."

Sushi Mama

★★★★☆ 4.4 (322) • $$

"Fast service and good food, wasn't a huge deal of the eel roll as I have had better eel at other places but enjoyed the chicken."

Nara Sushi Japanese Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (283) • $$

"Best sushi in VB! I have tried most of the highly rated sushi places in town and they were not good. Don't waste your money, eat here! Service was kind and attentive. My only suggestion would be a smaller menu. There are too many options for sushi to decide on."

Kyushu Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (320) • $$

"We used to come to visit Ebi San. Under the new ownership we haven't been there as often as before. Our last trip there was the Valentine's Day lunch special. Who can say no to heart shaped sushi for the occasion? Service was the same as when it was under Ebi San, and ambiance was too"

Soya

★★★★☆ 3.8 (384) • $$

"Decent size place with plenty of seating. I like that there are sections of seating. More intimate. Our server was great. I had a couple of questions and she was more than happy to help. I ordered a hot tea right away because it was super cold out. She brought it right away. We ordered appetizers and when my husband also ordered a hot tea she brought us an entire pot of hot tea. THat was FANTASTIC. I had never been brought the whole pot of tea before. Our appetizers came quickly but the flavor and consistency of the Gyoza- pork dumpling were underwhelming. We also got the Yakitori-grilled chicken skewers, They were nice and hot but the texture was like they were raw in the middle.Main Food came quickly as well. Ordered the Rainbow Roll, that was good and we also ordered the VA Beach Crunch Roll-it says spicy tuna but it really wasn't spicy. We enjoyed the flavor and freshness of our rolls.If you happen to look up at the ceiling you will see where someone has shot toothpicks up there. Totally bizarre. Overall I will give them a solid 4. They would have gotten a 5 but the appetizers were not that great. Everything else was good."

Wonderful Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (257) • $$

"Finally had my first visit and it was everything my family said it would be.The chicken katsu curry was wonderful!The menu is amazing so, take your time to study it before you order. We were there for dinner but they say the time to be there is during lunch because of the specials.The place is nicely arranged and the staff was welcoming and cheerful. For the ambiance; love the nice touch of fresh carnations on the tables.I did get the octopus balls appetizer and warm sake with a pot of green tea. The green tea was so very good that I almost drank the whole pot by myself!Apologies, no pictures to show this time.There are Korean dishes here that are next on my to try list!"

Hokkaido Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (332) • $$

"Way better than the 3.9 stars it currently has. Recommended for sushi!!! So goodSo good"

Kotobuki

★★★★☆ 4 (309) • $$

"This is definitely in my top ten places to eat. The food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Being a vegetarian is not always easy unless you're eating at Kotobuki. On top of having a nice selection they are very accommodating to change most dishes into a vegetarian version. I like that there's two types of seating. We usually do traditional table and chairs but they also offer traditional Japanese seating. When you find yourself in the area, stop by an amazing meal that will have you coming back again and again."

Ang's Sushi Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (275) • $$

"Wonderful food, wonderful presentation, some of the best miso soup I've had. I'm gluten free, and they were great At amending some rolls (crunchy and crab) so I could eat!"

Sakura Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (245) • $$

"The sushi was delicious. I never had fried sushi before it was scrumptious. The service was great our food came out hot and fresh. The seating was comfortable and we had plenty room for all our plates. The server came to collect our place and refill our drinks in a timely manner. I enjoyed their lunch buffet."

Mikado Japanese & Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (230) • $$

"One word.... Amazing!!! This restaurant is amazing! You walk in and everything is just so beautiful! Was not expect to walk into a restaurant this pretty! Service was also top notch! So kind and friendly. The food was amazing! I wish I could have tried more of the sushi rolls but the one I didn't have was so fresh and tasty! Definitely worth a try!"

Sanya Sushi Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (221) • $$

"We came around 3pm for a late lunch/early dinner and were pleasantly surprised to be able to partake of the lunch specials that would end at 3:30pm.I decided on the daily $5.95 Mango Martini special which was actually a bit more sour than expected, but cocktail-sour-appropriate level. I almost wonder if it was the sweetness of the house salad dressing that then made the cocktail seem a bit more sour than expected.The house salad was included with the lunch 3 Maki Special, which was 6 pieces of Philly, California, and Spicy Tuna rolls for $13.95.The combo hibachi lunch of chicken and steak for $14.50 was a great deal with a naturally sweet and salty teriyaki sauce and plenty of cooked vegetables and fried rice along with a soup or salad.Shrimp tempura appetizer came with 3 shrimp and a set of tempura vegetables- all perfectly crispy and not too oily, with a very light soy vinegar dipping sauce that's much less salty than straight soy.The service was efficient and kind and managed to welcome a walk-in group of 20 people around 4pm with barely a blink of an eye when setting up room for them to all sit together with no advance notice."

Kero Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (209) • $$

"Kero Sushi has been a favorite place for Sophia and myself since 2020. Their food has never been disappointing on every stop. Sometimes we went out with friends and other times just the two of us. Lately, we've sort of made this a go-to for lunch a few times after going to the movies. Let's see how this visit turned out.After checking out Blink Twice (good movie BTW), we walked in and were immediately seated by the staff. It was half full of customers, which is always fine for us. And everyone was pretty busy taking orders and prepping food. But a pretty calm vibe throughout. For lunch, we ordered lunch boxes which are favorably priced. It did take a while for our food to come out only because they had to deep fry the orders so in the meantime, they brought out a sample of their cucumber salad. It was actually pretty good to where I might order it down the road. Glad for the staff to save us during the wait. For my selection, I chose the chicken tempura lunch box, which came with french fries, California rolls, tempura veggies, salad, an orange slice and miso soup. Everything was delicious. I would've liked to have more seasoning on the veggies, but the sauce took care of it. Just a fine meal to have yours truly full for the afternoon. Great food with tentative staff. A win-win if you ask me. Till next time :)"

Super Ninja

"Food is so flavor able here. The cooks are always so fun and a joy to have. You get plenty of food so you'll never go home hungry. And it's reasonably priced. What more could ya want?"

O’ Yummy Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (219) • $$

"Excellent price for all you can eat sushi! The quality well surpasses what you might expect fromAn AYCE. When it comes to sushi, the quality is really the most important factor, is t it? O'Yummy on great neck has high quality, nicely sized rolls, sushi, and sashimi! The Crystal Roll is one of my favorites! They lose one star for long gals between visits from the server."

Hayashi Sushi & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (288) • $$

"We had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This is a great spot to introduce someone to a Japanese steakhouse for hibachi. We brought my son's best friend, and he was amazed. The food was excellent, and the staff were very pleasant. The chef was both amazing and funny, making it our favorite hibachi restaurant. The restaurant is clean and has a slightly upscale appearance. This was the first time we sat at a hibachi table, and it was worth it. The first time we came, we didn't have a reservation and had to sit at a regular table and order off the regular menu. So, one thing to note is that you need to have a reservation. Parking can be challenging with street parking, and you may have to walk a bit. There might be a parking garage nearby, but I'm not sure of its distance from the restaurant."

Daikichi Sushi Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (177) • $$

"We showed up right when they opened and was greeted with a smile! The place is very clean with regular tables and Japanese style low tables. It has a very authentic Japan feel to it. Our waitress was from Tokyo! We both ordered the spicy miso ramen and gyoza for an app. The Gyoza was light, fresh and definitely freshly made, super yummy!The BEST ramen we've had yet. Good spice and the pork melts in your mouth. 5 star quality food that rivals actual ramen in Japan. We'll definitely be back!"

Sushi Aka

★★★★★ 4.7 (140) • $$

"Did you ever live in or visit Japan? Do you like Sushi? Well come on down to Sushi Aka's they'll get ya right. They have "American" style and can go traditional depending on what you order. We had multiple delectables, including some delicious wagyu that was on special. Great for a date night, business meet-up, or for just a splurge. Arigato Gozaimasu!"

Sushi King

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (261) • $$

"I've been coming to Sushi King for years and still enjoy the food every time I go. Some things have changed since the pandemic. They no longer have a "salad bar" area but their menu hasn't changed so there's still plenty of options for food. The service can be hit or miss, some of the servers are more attentive than others. The restaurant is relatively clean, even when it's busy. The food isn't the absolute best in this area but it's still a great value for the price they charge for lunch or dinner."

Mizuno Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (163) • $$$

"So good! Nice, clean restaurant with great service and food. We loved all of our sushi, the Mr Bean roll in particular. Though we were already stuffed, the family decided to order a third Mr. Bean roll to split between the 5 of us."

Koshi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (148) • $$

"I found this restaurant since my first option for dinner fell through. I just parked and walked until I found someplace promising. This was where I landed! This sushi spot seemed very upscale. The decorations were really well done and the sushi chefs were busy making orders. I sat in front of the sushi chefs and initially it was awkward for me. It was just me alone and no one greeted me. After awhile I went to use the bathroom and debate on whether I should stay. (The toilet was pretty awesome by the way, with a bidet feature I didn't use and a warm seat that took me by surprise!)I decided to stay and sat at the bar instead. There, I received service. I ended up ordering the soju mule, tuna carpaccio, and the salmon skin roll. The mule was very yummy! It was a perfect start to my dinner. Next, the carpaccio. The tuna was so fresh and I loved the flavors together. I was not sure if I should try it but it turned out super yummy. Finally, the star of the show. OH MAN. The salmon skin roll. What a choice! It was divine. The skin was so crunchy and the flavors just went so well together. I keep thinking about that roll! I'm definitely coming back for it!Honestly I would give 4.5 stars if I could but I have to account for the awkward beginning. I just didn't feel welcome initially even though I felt better at the bar. I will still return!"

Ichiban

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (279) • $$

"We hadn't been here in a long while, but were in the neighborhood and thought we'd pop in. I'm so glad we did!After a couple of minutes' wait (like 3, maybe) we were seated. Our waiter brought water, and by the time he got back with our tea, our choices had leapt out of the menu and shouted "OOH! OOH! PICK MEEEE!!"My Bride got the Pineapple Fried Rice. It's literally a pineapple stuffed with shrimp fried rice. Delicious!I got the Walnut Shrimp, an excellent choice of if I do say so myself. Battered and fried shrimp and candied walnuts in a sweet creamy sauce- I had to restrain myself from licking the plate!Two entrées and two cups of green tea (with a refill) came to $43.07 including the tax. Certainly worth every penny! We won't wait so long to come back next time!"

Gold Taste

★★★★☆ 4.1 (163) • $$

"I stopped in here to grab dinner with a friend. The inside isn't much to look but the service is great! Our server was so kind and doted on us throughout the duration of our meal. The menu was overwhelming. There were lots of pages with lots of choices. I couldn't keep up and ended up getting a basic California roll and spicy tuna roll. Both were good. If you are a coffee with your dinner kind of person than this place is for you. They have delicious coffee."

Honoka Teriyaki Express

★★★★☆ 4.4 (138) • $

"I used to pick up orders from Honoka Express when I was a Door Dash driver. There would be seemingly endless orders and though you can't go inside (Covid times), the delicious aroma of great food just escapes through the slightly opened door before the plastic bags with good order were given to me to deliver.Now that I can choose to seat myself to eat in, service undoubtedly was fast. I ordered the chicken and shrimp bento box to go. I was leery that the take out portion wouldn't be the same as that of done in; but I needn't even worry in the first place.When my order number was called, one staff member said he forgot something. He came back to give me a small paper bag that typically is used for packets of sauces or fortune cookie. He placed the paper bag in the plastic carryout bag.When I got home, I was happily surprised to see that he gave me 3 more dumplings. Thank you for the generosity, dumplings are my favorite! This is true customer service!When I brought my order home, it was piled high."

Shogun Japanese Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (195) • $$

"Came as a family of 8 for my niece's 13th birthday. Ambiance: Very mellow. Plenty of seating and they even had a separate lounge/bar to wait in while we waited on the rest of our party. Our seating was a little tight but comfortable. We shared our table with a couple. (I've never understood that)Customer Service:Our server was amazing & attentive. She was easy to communicate with and had a great personality. She kept us informed at all times. Food & drinks:The food was delicious. The portions were great. My only complaint was they add ons (such as shrimp or extra chicken) costs almost as much as your meal. Drinks were loved by all. I particularly loved the option of purchasing the entire bottle of sake. It was cheaper than by the glass & I could take what I didn't finish with me."

Fuji Yama

★★★★☆ 4.4 (130) • $$

"Great sushi and service. Ironman roll and Lovers roll were both good. Delivery was fast."

Forbidden Palace

★★★★☆ 3.8 (166) • $$

"I was craving for some Asian cuisine so I went on trusty ol' Yelp to show me what was in the area and came across Forbidden Palace. What was intriguing about the place was that they had variety on their menu. Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Cantonese etc...Upon walking in, we were greeted and seated quickly. Our server was very attentive to us as well. For appetizer I got the Crab Rangoon and ordered some sushi, Volcano Roll and Yummy Roll. Everything was delicious! The coolest part is that my order came to me on a robot server! I've seen videos of them on the internet but never seen one in person before. I thought that was pretty cool."

O'Yummy Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (128) • $$

"O' Yummy Sushi is an All-You-Can-Eat Sushi restaurant in Virginia Beach. They offer a wide selection of sushi, sashimi, and rolls. They also serve Japanese appetizers such as tempura, BBQ squid, and noodles, such as Yakisoba and Udon. Some of my usual orders are Spicy Girl (deep-fried spicy crab meat and shrimp tempura), shumai, kani salad, seaweed salad, shrimp sashimi, and spicy crab hand roll. Since it's all-you-can-eat, you can try anything on their menu. They also offer a la carte, but personally, their AYCE menu is worth it. The staff are amiable and patient with us even after multiple ordering rounds. The lanterns and the decorations give a Japanese restaurant ambiance. This restaurant is our go-to sushi place in the area. Whenever we have people visiting the area, this is one of the first restaurants we take them to, and they are always impressed. This should be on your list if you are a sushi lover or just like me, who only likes appetizers."

Blue Fin Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (144) • $$

"If you want good sushi, try someplace else... I'm so disappointed!!! I came here after doing laundry and working out, thinking I'd be happy to get treated. Nope! My party and I come in and we are greeted with an unfriendly "do you have reservations?" We all look at each, confused as to why we would even need reservations in this strip mall shoebox of a restaurant. We should have turned right around and left. But because we are all starving, we stay.We ordered two orders of gyoza as appetizers and it takes almost half an hour! I'm drinking my water just to get something in my tummy! Of course, all this does is make me pee...and unfortunately, the bathrooms here are gross! The women's is (literally) full of poop and the men's is almost as bad. I search the bathroom and thankfully there are cleaning supplies in the men's room. Whew! After cleaning the toilet, I feel somewhat better about going to pee.This, of course, has almost ruined my appetite. By now, my stomach is raw with hunger. Finally our food comes out. It's mediocre at best but it's still food, so we devoured it. We decided to get a couple more rolls because we were still hungry (and also the rolls we got were pretty small). Again, we wait and wait. Looking around, the restaurant isn't even half full...but apparently there's only one person making food and our second order hasn't even been started.So we decided to cancel the second order and ask for the check so we can leave. Our waitress comes out and she seems somewhat apologetic but had another attitude when someone said something about the wait. For $160 for a party of four, I wish I had saved my money and gone elsewhere."

Inaka Sushi & Hibachi

★★★★★ 4.7 (102)

"My family and I decided to try Inaka for a family dinner after our usual spot was closed. Drawn in by the restaurant's excellent reviews, we took a chance and it definitely paid off. As soon as we arrived, our waitress welcomed us with a warm smile and promptly attended to our table. She was efficient in taking our drink orders and gave us ample time to peruse the menu.For appetizers, we ordered gyoza and fried chicken. While I missed the chicken skewer that was no longer available, the gyoza was a delightful surprise. It was cooked to perfection - crispy at the bottom and soft and chewy on top. The filling was fresh and moist, earning a solid 5/5 rating.The fried chicken, while fresh, had a batter more akin to American Chinese sweet and sour chicken than a crispy coating. Served with a sweet chili sauce, it left us wishing for a crispier texture. I would rate it a 3/5.My youngest opted for a simple crab roll, which was fresh and satisfying with the classic combination of rice and imitation crab, earning a perfect 5/5.Both my eldest and I chose the steak hibachi, which was served with fried rice and veggies. Accompanied by three sauces, we found the thinnest sauce to be the most flavorful, reminiscent of bulgogi. The rice and veggies were simple yet well-prepared, offering a clean and fresh taste. However, the steak was a bit tough and lacked flavor, albeit redeemed by the dipping sauces. I would rate it a 4/5.My husband ordered the chicken hibachi, which came with the same sides and garnered similar feedback. The chicken was good, albeit slightly lacking in flavor, but not overcooked. He would rate it a 4/5.Throughout our meal, our waitress and an older gentleman checked in on us multiple times, engaging in pleasant conversation and showing great kindness to our children.Overall, our experience at Inaka was wonderful, and we would definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again."

Tokyo Express

★★★★☆ 4.2 (125) • $

"What a great place to pick up some lunch and go. Their lunch prices are extremely affordable (and their hibachi is tasty which helps too). No dine in option, pick up only.We ordered shrimp and steak hibachi, salmon and avocado roll, eel roll and tuna and avocado roll. This all came up to about $25 and change which is half the price I would have paid elsewhere, so I appreciate this place keeping my pockets lined with some cash.The salmon didn't taste the best on this occasion, but the rest of the rolls were just fine. The hibachi came with three pieces of shrimp, but was more generous with the steak serving. Overall, 3.5 stars rounded up solely because of the price."

Sapporo East

★★★★☆ 4.4 (109) • $$

"The strawberries were delicious on these sushi rolls. We also had the Steak and Chicken Hibachi and enjoyed that as well. It's a cute little spot and we snuck in before the dinner crowd. Very friendly staff as well."

Koi Sushi & Hibachi

★★★★☆ 4.2 (118) • $$

"This restaurant is so cute I love the tables! First off the service is AMAZING! I went with my cousin who used to frequently eat here however had not been in a year, and they still remembered him! Because they are so nice they actually take the time to talk to their customers And the food... SO FRESH! The rolls were amazing shrimp tempura with eel and blue crab with avocado. And an ice cold Sapporo! The edamame was perfect also not too salty! If your in the area you won't regret stopping in for a meal!"

Ohana Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (104) • $$

"This is one of our favorite Sushi places in Suffolk for the family! Let's start with the ambiance, it's a smaller sushi restaurant but it feels very friendly and gives you privacy in the seating options! I have never had bad service here! Everyone is friendly and fast, they also bring extra items (free) to the table while you wait! Edamame is a must here!When it comes to food there are so many options for the pickiest of eaters! My daughter won't touch anything other than the dumplings and chicken options so they are perfect! The sushi portions are generous and there are a lot of options! Drink wise there is also a variety which makes it nice depending if it's a kids night or date night!Let me tell you why it's my favorite though...it's in the thought and packaging of the take out option! Everything is packages so nicely and makes it easy to take a date night home! The packages of utensils are top notch. This is a top tier restaurant with takeout!"

Sumo Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (175) • $$

"I haven't had hibachi in over a decade, but Sumo Japanese was a such a great experience, I feel I need more of it now. The waiter was awesome and the chef was entertainingly brilliant.Browsing the menu, I was intrigued by keeping the glass cup for their signature alcohol drinks so I ordered "The Sumo", which was very tasty. As far as food, I was contemplating between the filet mignon and chicken or just the chicken. I settled for the chicken and it was exceptionally well made. The overall prices are well worth it, considering the amount of food your getting + the entertainment of it being prepared right in front of you. There was so much food I had to get the rest to go. It's been almost a week since I have been and I'm considering going back already. As a heads up, incase you aren't aware, that if you plan to go in a party if 6 or more, your bill will have gratuity already added."
